The Most Comprehensive Bitless Bridle Reviews

As mentioned in the earlier article The Ultimate Best Western Bridle Reviews, we said that bridles are a must if you wish to have control over your horse. This will be important if you frequently bring your horses for long rides, or if you do sporting events with your horses. A good set of bridle will allow you to maneuver the horse around, of course, according to your direction. The bridle works by applying pressure to the area around the head and mouth, and sometimes it can be traumatic for the horses. That is why we recommend riders not to don the bridle on the horses for too long a time, lest they develop a phobia against wearing it, which is counterproductive. And this is precisely the reason why certain manufacturers decided to launch the bitless bridles. Let us now present to you the most comprehensive bitless bridles reviews ever.

So what exactly is a bitless bridle and how does it work? As mentioned earlier, the traditional bridles apply pressure around the horse’s nose and mouth. When this happens, it is actually a signal to the horse that the rider wants something. The application of pressure is sometimes painful and hence traumatic for the horses. However, in the case of the bitless bridle, the pressure is distributed equally around the head. This pressure is gentle, and imagine having a gentle pressure spread across the entire head. The effect is much lower than the traditional bridle, yet the former is able to achieve much more in terms of control over the those. Often, this is regarded as the more humane way of using a bridle on the horse.
